2. 范文示例
My Monthly Pocket Money Plan
I get 50 yuan as pocket money every month from my parents. To use it wisely, I make a clear budget every month.
First, I spend 20 yuan on necessary things. I usually buy some snacks and stationery, like pencils and notebooks, which I need for school. Second, I use 10 yuan to buy storybooks. Reading is my hobby, and I think it's a good way to spend money on something useful. The most important part is saving: I put 20 yuan into my small savings box every month. I plan to use this saved money to buy a new football next term or help someone in need.
I never waste money on things I don't need, like expensive toys or useless stickers. Following this plan makes me feel responsible. I learn that every coin counts, and saving money is a good habit that will benefit me a lot in the future.
